A friend of mine was attending a carol service in London,and there was a very young boy in front of her,and she asked him,what is Santa going to bring you?.The little boy spoke to his mother and then said to my friend,'It is not about Santa ,it is all about Jesus'. If only more people would realise that,how better and more meaningful Christmas would be,and indeed life would be if Christ became the center of their lives. One of my sons held a carol service in a pub,he did it last year and the owner of the pub, invited him to do it again,and so he did,and he told me the place was full to overflowing. A great deal of those people were not Christians and so he was able to tell them ,what that young child said to my friend,that Christmas is all about Jesus. Yes He is the reason for the season, and taking it further,without Him there is no reason, no meaning to life itself,when Christ finds you and you find Him,all things our changed for the better. When you find Him your sins are forgiven, and you loose the burden of guillt,you also loose the power of sin over your life,for when the Son sets free you are free indeed.You also receive hope,so many have no hope,but with Jesus you have hope to face the here and now,and the hereafter.We live in a world with so much conflict in it,so much to make us afraid,here is what Jesus said ,'Peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth'( John 14 v27)
' Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift'
2 Corinthians 9 v 15
